Frida's engagement: How she found her dream ring with aquamarine and diamonds

Saying yes to an engagement is more than a romantic moment – ​​it’s a life decision that reflects both love and values. When influencer and content creator Frida Sömskar chose her engagement ring, it was clear that it wasn’t just about looks – it was also about durability, quality and craftsmanship.

Choosing the right ring – with the heart and sustainability at the center

Frida talks about the moment her partner Pontus proposed – a moment filled with joy but also the realization that she wanted to be involved in choosing the ring. "Since this is a piece of jewelry I will wear for the rest of my life, I wanted to make my choice with great care," she writes in her post. With that as a guiding principle, the choice was easy – it would be a ring from Schalins.

Schalins is known for its genuine craftsmanship and local manufacturing in Östersund. All rings are made to order in recycled fine gold, with conflict-free diamonds and fossil-free electricity – a clear symbol of conscious jewelry choices.

Fairytale 4 Aquamarine – a gemstone with personal meaning

Frida's heart was drawn to a specific gemstone – aquamarine. The greenish-blue tone and crystal structure reminded her of the sea and symbolized calm and clarity. The choice fell on the Fairytale 4 Aquamarine model, made of 18-carat red gold with diamonds set by hand by Sweden's most experienced jewelers.

"My gaze is often drawn there – it is an honor to wear this work of art," Frida writes.

Aquamarine is not only beautiful – it is also practical. With a Mohs hardness of 7.5–8, it is suitable for everyday wear, as long as you handle it with care. A tip from Frida: take off your ring when doing physical work – regardless of the stone you choose.

An engagement ring for the future

Engagement is a milestone. And the ring is its symbol – a memory for life. With Schalins you don't just get a beautiful ring, you get a piece of jewelry with soul. Here you have the opportunity to be part of the design process, and create a completely unique ring, customized to your wishes.
